Sincere movie king

Chapter 54 "The Next Singer-Songwriter" begins!
For Fang Xian, the tailoring part is quite normal. I have experienced it when I was a kid when I made new clothes for the Chinese New Year. They can be considered private customization. In my impression, they are all made of high-quality fabrics.

What really opened his eyes today was modeling his feet.

First, wrap the feet with plaster, wait for the plaster to solidify, then cut them apart with a small electric saw, pour the plaster into them, and form a shoe embryo.

According to the designer who customized Fang Xian's leather shoes, after the shoe embryo is formed, it will take two weeks to completely reproduce the foot shape, and then make the molded shoes, and obtain the precise dimensions of each part based on the molded shoes. …

After doing this, we start to collect the materials (cow hide + wild boar skin) and proceed with the subsequent production of leather shoes. This part is even more complicated.

In short, what stands out is the ultimate craftsmanship and extreme polishing of details, and the company philosophy of "elegance and practicality" must be integrated into the entire process.

Calculating this, it would take more than a month to fully customize a pair of leather shoes.

Fang Xian asked: "What if I gain weight or lose weight after your leather shoes are customized?"

The designer looked at Fang Xian silently for three seconds and said: "The purpose of our company is not to refund money."

"Haha..." Fang Xian was so humored by the designer that he didn't even need the designer to tell him that customizing a pair of shoes like this would cost 80 yuan in effort and materials.

"Understood. I will take away the customized shoes when the time comes. I will also buy a pair of size 42 leather shoes to take away with me."

The designer was also happy.

Fang Xian and Peng Xiaoshi took the measurements and were about to leave. Unexpectedly, they met two acquaintances walking into the store at the door.

Cheng Yuanyuan and Chu Ziwei, followed by an assistant.

Cheng Yuanyuan wore a round hat and a mask, covering her face tightly. Although Chu Ziwei was the son of the movie king Chu Yan, because of his average image and his work as a director, few people could recognize him on the street.

When they saw Fang Xian and Peng Xiaoshi, they stopped in unison.

Fang Xian's expression did not change, and each person gave him a [Watching Tiger Gaze].

Chu Ziwei felt as if his chest was shaken, and he felt inexplicable fear. His heart was beating rapidly, and he quickly avoided Fang Xian's eyes.

Cheng Yuanyuan was so frightened that she took a step back and sobbed uncontrollably: "Fang Xian, what are you going to do?"

Fang Xian ignored them and walked forward, passing them by.

Peng Xiaoshi paused and asked curiously: "Fang Xian, do you know each other?"

"I don't know." Fang Xian replied without stopping.

Peng Xiaoshi followed.

Cheng Yuanyuan and Chu Ziwei were stunned for a long time. One felt that he was scared because of a guilty conscience, and the other thought that he was mentally shadowed by Fang Xian's rubbing on the ground.

When they came to their senses, they felt that their reaction just now was so embarrassing.

Chu Ziwei asked Cheng Yuanyuan calmly: "Why were you crying just now?"

"I, I'm afraid that he would be impulsive and hurt me." Cheng Yuanyuan expressed her true feelings.

Chu Ziwei also had a similar feeling. The moment he met Fang Xian's eyes, he felt that Fang Xian was going to come over and push him to the ground and break his neck.

"A barbarian." Chu Ziwei cursed in a low voice. After cursing, he subconsciously glanced back and said, "Go in."

Suddenly I felt very irritable.

……

"I remember, the one wearing a mask just now was Cheng Yuanyuan?"

In the car going to the Hexagon Bar, Peng Xiaoshi suddenly looked at Fang Xian and said that she had been quietly eating the hot topics for a long time.

"Correct."

"Then why did she say that to you? She seemed to be afraid of you?"

"I don't know, and I don't care," Fang Xian said in a casual tone, "Just pretend to be the victim."

"Yeah." Peng Xiaoshi nodded. In fact, she had many questions she wanted to gossip about, but when she saw that Fang Xian didn't want to talk in depth, she stopped the topic.

When they arrived at the bar, Fang Xian and Peng Xiaoshi waved goodbye. Unexpectedly, Peng Xiaoshi said, "I'll go in and play for a while. I haven't been to the bar in Houhai for a long time."

"Sister Xiaoshi." Assistant Xiao Zhao stopped her in time.

If she and Fang Xian were photographed together in a bar, it would be equivalent to booking tomorrow's trending headlines in advance and leading to an unnecessary public relations incident.

"Okay." Peng Xiaoshi waved to Fang Xian reluctantly.

Fang Xian entered the Hexagon Bar, said hello to Cao Liu, and walked towards Cao Lihua, who was sitting in the corner and typing on the computer screen.

"We have negotiated with Baixiang, 100 million in two years." When Cao Lihua spoke, she did not take her eyes away from the computer screen, "They have sent the electronic version of the contract. Take a look at it. If there is no problem, then sign it. .”

"Have you read the contract?" Fang Xian asked.

"I've seen it. Overall, it's fine. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Well, then sign it."

"Okay." Cao Lihua nodded in agreement, "Then it's about changing rentals. I screened 12 communities and selected 26 houses..."

"Sister Hua, there's no need to look for a house to rent." Fang Xian said as he took out the key bag Peng Xiaoshi gave him, "It's done."

"You found it yourself. Where is the house?" Cao Lihua looked at Fang Xian doubtfully.

"Peng Xiaoshi rented her last house to me, in Dongxiangyang Community."

"Oh, that community is pretty good. I also looked for that community. The living conditions are good and the transportation is convenient. It's just a bit expensive, about 1 yuan a month."

"Yeah, but she offered a friendly price."

"how much is it?"

"1500."

"..." This is not a friendly price, this is a cabbage price.

The topic came to an abrupt end.

Then there was the discussion about recording "The Next Singer-Songwriter".

Kiwi chose the recording location at Kunshan Huaqiao International Convention and Exhibition Center.

In other words, Fang Xian will leave for Kunshan with the program team tomorrow.

This must be communicated with the "Fly, Basketball" side. Fortunately, there are only a few scenes left, and they are basically personal scenes.

Director Zuo Qian was very prescient on this point. Before he realized that Fang Xian was becoming more and more popular and there were more and more announcements, he filmed all the group scenes with Fang Xian in advance and moved his personal scenes to Move back and you can take another shot at any time.

Anyway, Fang Xian's popularity is something that he and the crew are happy to see happen, let alone the free popularity. Fang Xian will participate in the promotion of the TV series in the later period, which is also written in the contract.

It must be that the redder Fang Xian is, the better the effect will be.

When the time comes, his photo will be enlarged on the poster, juxtaposed with the two male leads, and the public announcement will be that we are a group drama, with high content.

Of course, no matter how the shooting time is adjusted, Zuo Qian, as a pursuing director, will never agree to such an operation as cutout.

In the past two years, many crew members did not give enough time to the crew because the lead actor skipped the scene and had to cut out the pictures. They made many bad jokes and treated the audience's expectations and support as child's play. At one point, the audience shouted "Thank you." You told me to stop watching domestic dramas", an ecologically negative public opinion.

the next day.

Fang Xian successfully took leave from the crew, and he promised Zuo Qian that he would come back immediately to film the remaining scenes after recording there.

Afterwards, he rushed to Kunshan with the "Next Singer-Songwriter" program team.

In fact, from this moment on, Fang Xian's days of running around making announcements and acting in dramas officially began.

From now on, his schedule will only become more and more full.

Not to mention the distance, when "Three Worlds" starts filming in early September, he will be filming and recording "Singer-Songwriter", running both ways. "Sister Hua, let's set a rule. From now on, we will accept no more than three announcements in the same schedule. If we are filming a movie, if we are a leading actor, we can only accept one movie in the same schedule. If we are a supporting actor, we can't accept more than two movies in the same schedule."

On the way to Kunshan, Fang Xian began to raise his demands on himself.

"Well, the next month will be mainly about recording "Singer-Songwriter", filming "Three Worlds" and the White Elephant commercial. If I have time for later work and announcements, we will discuss it in detail."

"Ah."

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the program team arrived at the filming location.

Fang Xian didn't know all the guests until he arrived at the recording place.

Five singers, three producers.

In terms of singers, in addition to him and Gu Yunnan, there are two male singers and one female singer.

One of the two male singers is from Xiangjiang, named Chen Shengtao, and the other is a powerful singer from the Mainland, Hou Yongyi, who was born in the famous duo music group "Hongyi". It can be said that they are memories of a generation, and now they are both solo. .

The female singer is Bi Yitong from Taiwan Province. She debuted in a girl group and later became famous in idol dramas. Her representative song "Named After Love" is very popular. There is a line in it, "The romance named after love is an endless parting." It has become a buzzword and frequently appears in the QQ space signatures of middle school students.

Inviting artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan Province as guests in variety shows has been a routine practice in variety shows in recent years.

On the one hand, bringing together artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places can expand the influence of the program. On the other hand, it is also to release a voice and express an attitude. As long as everyone has the same concept, feel free to come to the mainland market to make money.

Some of them are just for show, and you can turn a blind eye.

The most disgusting thing is those who pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother, doing one thing on the surface and another on the back.

In another time and space, when Fang Xian occasionally saw the news and information about some artists, he would feel that the filters he used when he was a child were shattered.

He added the halo that belongs to the protagonists in film and television dramas to those artists, but in reality, they are arrogant, conceited and even hostile, and lack common culture and value recognition.

Closer to home.

The three producers invited for this show also have extraordinary backgrounds.

Chief producer Luo Zonglun is a well-known mainland music producer who has collaborated with many kings, queens and big-name singers.

The other two, Zhou Tingbai and Shen Dawei, are also music producers who have collaborated with first-line singers.

Judging from the guest lineup alone, there are top-notch performers, capable performers, sweet girls, newly emerging music stars, and big-name music producers. There is no problem in giving this music show an S-level rating.

After everyone met, they first got to know each other briefly, and then complimented each other politely.

In this process, Luo Zonglun's status can be seen, because all the other guests went over to say hello to him.

Fang Xian also followed Feng and shook hands with him.

"I have listened to your "Orion" and "Born Like a Summer Flower". They are two very imaginative and creative songs. They are very powerful."

Luo Zhonglun has an elegant temperament and his tone is neither slow nor urgent. He does not look like someone who can lie.

"Thank you, Teacher Luo." Fang Xian said modestly.

"Is "Life Like a Summer Flower" online?"

"Not yet, we are in the later stages." Fang Xian said.

"Yeah." Luo Zhonglun nodded. He actually had some comments to make about that song, but since he was in the post-production stage, there was no need to say more.

"I really like your song "Why Not", and I have listened to it many times."

At this time, Bi Yitong joined the conversation with a shy smile on his face, his big eyes widened, and his tone was natural.

"Thank you for your support." Fang Xian responded with a smile.

Then others followed Luo Zhonglun and Bi Yitong's topic and talked about some of the songs shown below.

Only Gu Yunnan did not participate, but his expression management was still good, and he always maintained a light smile.

"I hope you can perform well this time and recommend a few more good songs." Zhou Tingbai encouraged Fang Xian.

"I will try my best." Fang Xian said.

After the atmosphere became a little livelier, everyone went to do some styling and then started recording.

There is no theme for the first qualifying round. All you need to bring is new songs that have not been released publicly.

The songs are sung in two rounds. The first round is an internal audition for the singers. They can accompany themselves, sing a cappella, sing a complete song, or just sing a few lines.

Then the three producers and several other singers will determine the internal ranking based on the audition demo votes. This ranking will determine the order of the official stage competition.

According to the requirements of the director team, during the voting process, everyone can make comments and express their feelings directly. It doesn't matter if it is moderately sharp.

This is also a trick that all variety shows love to play, which is to create a little conflict during the recording process to make the show look more dramatic and ups and downs.

However, "Singer-Songwriter" is a pure music variety show, and the director team still hopes that the core of the program can focus on music, so there is no need to deliberately create conflicts between the two guests, as long as some of the arguments stem from the music itself.

Everyone has different musical concepts. When creating new songs, there will definitely be arguments. These arguments not only enhance the visibility of the program, but also highlight the professionalism of the program.

Soon after, everyone put on makeup and finished styling.

On-site filming work is also in place.

All guests entered a room designed with a sense of technology. Some simple musical instruments, such as guitars, electronic keyboards, etc., as well as microphones and speakers were prepared in the room.

The eight guests sat in a row chatting and laughing, and the director came on stage to introduce the rules:

"Hello everyone, welcome to "The Next Singer-Songwriter"!
"Now we begin the internal demo voting and ranking process. The five singers are sorted alphabetically by the pinyin of their names and sing their new songs one by one.

"After the singing, everyone anonymously ranks the five singers, and then we will determine the internal top five based on everyone's ranking."

Bi Yitong said: "I didn't understand it very well. Can everyone sort it?"

Director: "Yes, for example, if five of the eight guests rank one singer No. 1, then he must be No. 1."

Bi Yitong: "What if there is a tie? For example, both singers won four first places?"

Director: "Then let's look at the number of times he was ranked second, and so on."

Bi Yitong nodded and said, "I understand."

The director continued: "After the audition voting session is over, the next step is for the three producers, teachers and singers to arrange the music and arrange the accompaniment. We will also follow up and record this part.

“When everyone’s works are finished, the formal competition begins. The order of taking the stage is opposite to the order of internal voting.

"That is to say, the one who ranks first in internal voting will be the last to appear."

Everyone nodded to show understanding.

"In the first round of qualifying, 101 public and professional judges will vote to determine the ranking. The top ranked player will directly advance to the next round of knockout rounds.

"The remaining four singers will go through another round of qualifying. The one with the last two votes will enter the elimination zone, and the other three will advance to the elimination round.

“The knockout round is where four singers compete against each other in pairs, the winner advances, and the loser enters the elimination zone.

"The four singers who were finally eliminated will compete in another round, and the No. 1 will advance to the finals and the winner of the knockout round will compete for the title of 'Next Singer-Songwriter'."

After the director finished speaking, he added with a smile: "If you still don't understand the rules, you can communicate privately. If you still don't understand, it doesn't matter. Just follow our process."

"Okay, this is good, don't think about it."

"OK."

The director announced:
"Now, let's enter the first stage and listen to the demo. Please invite Miss Bi Yitong."

　4500+, it’s better to use it as a [-]-in-[-], it won’t be developed without disassembling it.
